Seems to lack a unified argument. First complains about people
ignoring copyright and then complains about people not ignoring but
buying the rights cheaply.

Indeed the existence of large search able databases would appear to be
a greater problem for his business model than the copyright apathetic
(true anti-copyright are in my experience pretty uncommon).

It also appears to stick exlusively to US law which I would argue is
something of an error
